  • Print a Copy of Historic Taos, a Walking Tour of 22 Taos Landmarks
    Welcome visitors and Taoseños! You are invited to explore the diversity of this region, through a self-guided tour. The two-hundred year old Taos Plaza, and the streets that radiate from it like spokes, form the National Historic District of Taos. It contains a number of national and state landmarks which are Historic testimonials to the rich and complex cultural history of T aos. The T aos Valley has been a major trade and travel route since human presence was first felt in the area. Archeological evidence suggests that people have been using and moving through the Taos Valley for, at least, the past 9,000 years. The ancestors of the Pueblo people, commonly known as the Anasazi, were the first permanent inhabitants of the Valley. Room blocks and pit houses in the Taos area testify to their presence since 900 AD. Around 1200 AD, they aggregat- ed into small above ground structures of 50-100 rooms. Many believe the Taos Pueblo was constructed around 1450 as a multi-story TAOS complex. However, archeologists predominantly place the date of construction of Taos Pueblo in the 14th century on or about 1350. Unfortunately , there is no known recorded date. In any case, the Pueblo Indians depended upon nature for their survival, and therefore treated nature as an organizing and spiritual element in their lives. At the time of the arrival of the Europeans, all of Taos Valley was in the domain of Taos Pueblo Indians. In 1540, Francisco de Coronado, a Spanish conquistador and explorer, was authorized to explor e the area by the king of Spain.

  • Hacienda De Los Martinez Martinez Hacienda; Martinez House 1804–C
    Hacienda de los Martinez Martinez Hacienda; Martinez House 1804–c. 1820, Antonío Severino Martinez; 1827–1882 alterations; 1974–1983 restoration. 708 Hacienda Rd. (Lower Ranchitos Rd.). One of the best surviving and preserved Spanish Colonial houses in the American Southwest, the Martinez Hacienda documents life on the frontier of New Spain in the early nineteenth century. In 1804, Antonío Severino Martín and his wife, María del Carmel Santistévan, moved with three of eventually six children from their home in Abiquiú to Taos Valley. Severino traced his ancestry to two mestizo brothers of mixed Spanish and Indian blood who had accompanied Juan de Oñate to New Mexico in 1598 and attained sufficient status to rank as Spaniards. As the family grew in Taos, their name evolved from Martín into “los Martínes” and finally Martinez. Arriving shortly after the plaza of Fernández de Taos (modern Taos) was founded in 1796, the Martinez family came seeking economic opportunity in what was then a remote edge of the far-flung Spanish Empire. They settled Click large thumbnail at top to view full-scale uncropped image two miles south of Taos along the Rio del Pueblo (Taos River) in an area known as Los Ranchitos after the small ranches that Spanish colonists used seasonally to tend their LOCATION livestock while continuing to live closer to the protective enclosure of Taos Pueblo to the north. After the provincial governor, Juan Bautista de Anza, lessened the threat of Indian raids by concluding a treaty with the Comanche in 1786, they began to stay more permanently in places like Ranchitos.

Since the photo was taken, all the trees along the creek have been removed. The photographed area is 1/4 mile left-to-right in the foreground, and 1/2 mile from the bottom of the photo to the dark brown field in the middle distance. The curvilinear features running diagonally across the pasture are SFT swales. There are five or six sets of parallel swales, as dif- ferent locations were sought out over the years to cross French Creek. A DAR marker is located where the swales can be seen intersecting the road on the left margin of the photo. This Trail Segment is a National Park Service “Certified Site” and is on both the State and National Registers of Historic Places. This is the loca- tion of the Cottonwood Holes (some are visible just to the right of center of the photo) which were a source of water and provided a noon camping stop on the SFT. This was the first water on the SFT westward from Cot- tonwood Crossing, and the water appeared in depressions or holes both in and alongside the creek.

  • 2 Historic Churches on the High Road to Taos
    2 Historic Churches on the High Road to Taos his northbound tour includes churches between the Santuario de Chimayó (discussed in the previous chapter) and San Francisco T de Asís in Ranchos de Taos. Córdova, Truchas, Ojo Sarco, and Las Trampas are missions of Holy Family Parish in Chimayó; Chamisal, Llano, Picurís, Río Lucio, and Placita are missions of San Antonio de Padua parish in Peñasco; and San Francisco de Asís is the mother church and Talpa a mis- sion of the parish in Ranchos de Taos. San Antonio De Padua, Córdova Córdova was initially settled by 1750, but its adobe church, San Antonio, was not built until 1832. The retablos and many of the bultos in the church are works of one of New Mexico’s outstanding santeros, [José] Rafael Aragón. Aragón moved his family to Córdova—then called Pueblo Quemado— after his wife died in 1832. He was about thirty-six at the time, and shortly after, between 1834 and 1838, he was commissioned to oversee a redesign of the church interior and to paint the three altar screens that are still in San Antonio today. A later resident of the village, José Dolores López (1868–1937), pioneered the woodcarving style that is now associated with Córdova. The tradition continues among his descendants and others, and there are signs in the village for home- based workshops and galleries. Visits to San Antonio are generally limited to the exterior unless they coincide with Las Posadas, Holy Week, or the feast day, celebrated on the Saturday or Sunday closest to June 13.

  • Visitor's Guide
    This guide is intended to give you our opinion about what to do and what to see. It is simply an opinion. MUSEUMS Millicent Rogers Museum has an interesting collection of early American Indian art and crafts, especially pottery, jewelry and Kachina dolls. It also has one of the most beautiful enclosed courtyards in Taos. The small but excellent collection of Kachina dolls and a fine collection of Maria Martinez pottery are well worth seeing. A portion of the museum is devoted to the history of the early Spanish and Native American peoples in the four corners region. The museum store is quite exceptional. (First in the “great ladies of Taos” tour). The Harwood Museum has a fine collection of paintings by early Taos painters, beautifully displayed. The Museum is within walking distance, on historic Ledoux Street (the Canyon Road of Taos, or so it would like to believe). The Museum also has one gallery devoted to traveling exhibits, another to early Hispanic furniture and tin work, and a third to the white-on-white paintings of Agnes Martin. The Taos Art Museum located as part of the Fechin Inn is a fascinating 1930’s adobe home with Russian overtones, built by Russian painter Nicholi Fechin. Watch for gorgeous carved wood doors and furniture. This is the guy who madly painted all day long and carved all night for six years, until his wife threw him out of the house. HISTORIC HOUSES The Mabel Dodge Luhan Estate is a very interesting old adobe home with beautiful grounds. The second story bathroom windows were painted by D.
